Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Skeena — Bulkley Valley for his pertinent question, because we see across the country far too many of what I would call precarious jobs: part-time jobs, temporary jobs, low-wage jobs, and jobs with no benefits.

The minister knows very well that the first persons to be penalized by her new reform are the women, more than 70% of whom have precarious jobs and frequently rely on employment insurance because they cannot find a stable and well paid job.

Considers it essential to combat precarious and undeclared work, given that this phenomenon severely affects domestic workers, including particularly migrant women workers, thus worsening their already vulnerable position; stresses the importance of eradicating and prosecuting such practices, including child labour; in this regard, supports tackling the precarious situation of domestic workers and carers within the framework of the European platform against undeclared work; recalls that undeclared work deprives them of social security cover and has a negative impact on their working conditions in terms of health and safety; expects, ther ...[+++]efore, that the European platform against undeclared work will prevent and discourage undeclared work, as the undeclared economy threatens job security, affects the quality of care and working conditions for many undeclared carers, puts the sustainability of the social welfare system at risk and reduces tax income for states’ coffers.

I asked specifically about when the government would come up with a real jobs plan, a plan that would provide jobs to help support families instead of low-wage, part-time, precarious jobs that many families now depend on.

When we look at all of that key criteria, the fact that the jobs the government has created are precarious jobs, part-time and temporary overwhelmingly, that they pay $10,000 a year less than the family sustaining jobs, the full-time jobs, the manufacturing jobs, the value added jobs that existed in the economy before, we cannot blame Canadian families for coping as best they can with what has been a series of government policies that have made Canadian families poor.

Advocates standard jobs being arranged in future in accordance with ‘good work’ principles, and not being converted into precarious jobs; considers that job markets should be better regulated through stringent labour inspections, with the aim of reducing precarious employment;

whereas the de-skilling of high-skilled workers is a common problem in the context of precarious jobs, in particular in the case of workers who are dismissed or migrant workers taking low-skilled jobs in order to stay on the labour market, and whereas this situation, which affects women in particular, is jeopardising career development and the attainment of salary levels corresponding to the skills acquired and possessed,

Underlines the need to provide women in precarious jobs with the option of protection of entitlements such as decent pay, maternity leave, fair and regular working hours and a non-discriminatory working environment, which are crucial for these women; calls on the Member States to penalise the imposition of obstacles to trade union participation and in general encourages the Member States, moreover, to provide low-threshold advisory services for women who cannot receive support from a works council, for example employees in private households; calls on the social partners to improve gender parity in their bodies at all levels;

whereas the individualisation and increasing flexibility of the labour market – resulting in a reduction in collective bargaining – puts employees, and in particular women, who often have to balance family obligations, in a more vulnerable position which can lead to precarious jobs, since it makes it easier for employers to worsen employment conditions,

P. whereas the de-skilling of high-skilled workers is a common problem in the context of precarious jobs, in particular in the case of workers who are dismissed or migrant workers taking low-skilled jobs in order to stay on the labour market, and whereas this situation, which affects women in particular, is jeopardising career development and the attainment of salary levels corresponding to the skills acquired and possessed,
